Welcome to Class 2

Year 1 and Year 2

Teacher: Mrs. McGregor

Teaching Assistants: Mrs. Maudsley and Mrs. Huntbach

Welcome back after the holidays, I hope you all had a lovely break.

Our topic this term is Fun at the Fair. We will study the history of fairgrounds and compare old fashioned fairgrounds with modern day ones. In DT we will create our very own mini fairground rides using lots of designing and creating skills. We will also create fantastic carosel artwork and explore the music of a fairground, and I'm sure we'll be listening to the Greatest Showman soundtrack over and over again!

In Science we will study living things and their habitats including where animals live, what they need to survive and food chains.

PE this half term will be on a Tuesday with Mr. Gibbons, on a Thursday with me and of course, Active 30 at the end of each day. Therefore the children need their PE kit everyday.

Class 2 will bring reading books home each week. Please read with your child each night where possible, as this will help them to become confident readers with a true enjoyment of reading.

Spellings this term will be the word lists in the diaries. The children will learn 5-6 words each week and will be tested on a Monday. If they spell the words correctly they will be highlighted in the back of the diary.They will then get a dot next to the words they need to learn for the following week.

Don't forget your reading diaries, PE kits and water bottles Class 2!
